No full textGli esercizi spirituali della musica : improvvisazione e creazione
No full textEsercizi spirituali: prima di essere una costruzione concettuale, la filosofia antica era un cammino preparato e accompagnato da esercizi per trasformare la propria visione del mondo e il proprio modo di vivere. Gli scritti di Arnold I. Davidson qui raccolti mostrano come questo cammino sia percorribile ancora oggi, non necessariamente seguendo solo la strada delle categorie tradizionali della filosofia, ma sperimentando altri percorsi, come quello dell’improvvisazione musicale, che secondo Davidson è in grado di diventare un altro genere di pratica filosofica. Pensando insieme straordinari musicisti come Cecil Taylor, Sonny Rollins e Steve Lacy e grandi filosofi come Pierre Hadot, Michel Foucault e Stanley Cavell, l’autore si domanda cosa significhi pensare l’etica e la politica come pratiche di libertà, come atti creativi che danno una forma individuale e collettiva al nostro ethos e al nostro modo di vivere

From Biopolitics to Common Immunity : The Role of Michel Foucault in the Philosophy of Roberto Esposito
No full textOne of the thinkers of Contemporary French Philosophy who has been particularly influential in Esposito’s philosophy is certainly Michel Foucault. As it is known, Esposito’s relevant concept of “affermative biopolitics” is rooted in a critical reading of Foucauldian biopolitics and its impact on recent philosophical debates. Starting from the crucial link between politics and life highlighted by Foucault, in his book Bios. biopolitica e filosofia (Einaudi, Torino 2004) Esposito explores all its implications: from its thanatopolitical outcome to its potential, further reversal in the possibility of affirming a politics of life.
In the last two years, following the event of the pandemic, the Foucauldian concept of biopolitics has become once again the focus of philosophical attention, in a debate to which Esposito has made an important contribution with his most recent book: Immunità comune. Biopolitica all’epoca della pandemia (Einaudi, Torino 2022).
Although Foucault’s presence is clearly visible in many other aspects of Esposito’s philosophy, in these two moments Esposito’s dialogue with Foucault is particularly intense and it allows him to take part in important political-philosophical debates, concerning some urgent issues of our present time. In Foucault’s terms, we could say that Esposito’s dialogue with this French philosopher is often part of that crucial, philosophical task called by Foucault the “diagnosis of our present”. This chapter aims to investigate these two moments of Esposito’s dialogue with Foucault, in order to highlight their philosophical and political implications

Political ontology, community, and institutions : Roberto Esposito in dialogue with contemporary thinkers
No full textPolitical Ontology, Community, and Institutions offers a broad view of the current philosophical dialogue in Italy, both in relation to Robert Esposito's own thought and with respect to major issues and authors of crucial philosophical relevance. From his earliest works, Esposito questions the crisis of politics and why thought is unable to convincingly respond to it. He does so by distancing himself not only from political theology but also from those paradigms-destituent and constituent-that have lost nowadays much of their analytical and propositional capacity. However, his proposal is not only critical. Esposito's thought relates to our present through the creation of new categories-among the most recent, those of "instituting thought" and "common immunity"-capable of opening a breach in an apparently increasingly closed horizon. Therefore, dealing with his thought means, first of all, dealing with our present. This is the main goal of this volume, which focuses on Esposito's dialogue with major contemporary thinkers. Also included is an unpublished interview with Esposito conducted by the editors
